The India vs England Test series has been witness to several intense and animated scenes across the last two matches; more needles await as the two teams take on at The Oval for the final decisive Test.
However, India as well as England skippers, Shubman Gill and Ben Stokes, respectively, had said that they do not hold grudges; they are all players looking for wins, and hence sometimes things get a bit escalated with some unwanted emotions, but it's all part of the game, and the relationship off the field is amazing between their players.
However, despite a great amount of competition in the first two games, the tensions started to flare from the Lord's Test when both teams were levelled with a scoreline of 1-1.
Gill later clarified that he was irked by the English players delaying their entry on the field by 90 seconds, not by the time they had spent in the middle by calling in the physio. This incident was followed by Ben Stokes and co. mocking the Indian batters throughout their second innings.

After the animated scenes of fury and rage at Lord's, the two teams reached Manchester, with England taking the advantage in their home series with a win at Lord's.
India's next did a fairly good job with KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar all playing their hearts out to deny England the early series clinch before the last game.
The Indians denied the offer, and the two batters continued play until they reached their hundreds. Ben Stokes Stokes and the English team did not praise their efforts on the field; however, later in an interaction on BBC, the England skipper said that they were right to offer the handshake, while the Indian batters were also right to opt for their hundreds.
"Two lads in Jadeja and Washington played incredibly well up until that point, so you sort of understand as to why as they wanted to stay out there and get their 100s. But as I said at the end of the game, fair enough but I am not going to bowl my bowlers in a situation where we can’t win the game," Ben Stokes added.
